Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Your SUV or crossover doesn't have to be in perfect condition to donate. We accept both operational vehicles and those that need a little TLC. However, running vehicles often garner higher valuations, especially if they’re late-model.
Title Issues
If your title is lost or has liens, don't worry. We can help guide you through the necessary steps to resolve these issues before donation. Just reach out for assistance!
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We've got your back when it comes to logistics! Whether your SUV is parked in your driveway in Gillette or sitting in storage in Jackson, we can arrange for a free pickup that works with your schedule.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Wyoming, transferring the title of your SUV or crossover is straightforward. You'll need to complete the standard DMV title transfer form, which can be found online or at your local office. Make sure to provide accurate details and sign the title over to Wheels for Wishes. No notarization is required in Wyoming, but you must return your license plate to the DMV within a month after donation. Keeping everything above board is easy!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your SUV or crossover can give you a considerable tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the full sale price if it sells for more. When you donate to Wheels for Wishes, we will provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, detailing your contribution and the vehicle’s valuation. Always consult a tax professional to understand how it applies to your specific situation.
Local context — Wyoming
In Wyoming, SUVs and crossovers are more than just vehicles; they’re a lifestyle. Many locals turn to these rugged vehicles for outdoor adventures, whether it’s heading out to hike in Yellowstone or navigating through snowy winters in Cheyenne. Life changes—like downsizing from a house in Laramie or relocating for work—often lead to generous donations. Additionally, folks dealing with the aftermath of a divorce may find it easier to donate their vehicle than deal with the hassle.
